I have solved my problem, but not with this Mod. It appears to be flawed and does not work properly, I uninstalled it.

It turns out that another similar Mod, by the same author, does work properly and with a minor change, will do exactly what I needed.

The Mod is Hide BBCodes/Signatures From Guests/Users and I explain what needs to be changed, there in post #110. I even provide my updated product file.

So if you need to enable a BBCode in just some forums of your choice, that is the way to do it.
I have implemented it on my forum and it works well.

I hope this helps.

Your use of the product was the inverse of the intended usage, so that was where the issue was. As far as I know, everyone who uses this for its intended purpose finds it works correctly.

I tested it as it was intended, and even then it was not reliable. Now this could be something that was specific to my forum. Either way for me, the other mod was reliable from the start - this one was not.

It could be your use of secondary usergroups gave you results you didn't expect. If a user is a member of an allowed group and also a member of a disallowed usergroup, the net result is they will be disallowed.

Hi Mark,

I've recently installed this excellent mod on a couple of vBulletin 4.2.5 forums that I administer.

As it was working well on the first one I installed it on, I installed it on the second one. Soon after, I was informed by a user that he was receiving the following requester on clicking on the Post Quick Reply button, after typing a response into the Quick Reply panel:

This had never happened previously, and the normal behaviour returned on disabling the mod. A little more testing determined that with the mod enabled, but no tag names specified, the problem didn't occur!

I didn't notice the problem on the first forum, as I had disabled the Quick Reply option on it. When I temporarily enabled it there, the problem manifested itself.

Wondering if there was a conflict with some other mod, I tried disabling them all on a test version of the production forum, but the problem persisted.

I've just now done an install of a new, clean, V4.2.5 forum, with no changes to the default configuration. Yes, Click Not Required was the default for the Quick Reply option.

After creating a thread, and doing a couple of Quick Replies, without any problem, I installed the mod, and the problem manifested itself (again, only when a tag name was specified). So, it would seem that the problem isn't caused by any conflict with another mod?

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Julian

Mark,

Please hold off on investigating/answering this, as I may have since found the problem.

Hi Mark,

I haven't found the problem, but I was wrong in saying that I could reproduce it on a clean install of V4.2.5. In my haste, I hadn't copied markfl_disablebbcodes/disablebbcodes.php to the server! That resulted in the requester being displayed when I tried a Quick Reply to a post I had in my browser, prior to installing the mod. I later realised my error when I got a 500 error on responding to the requestor!

So, as it works fine on a clean install, I guess I'm going to have to try installing all the other mods I have on the other forums, one by one, on my new test system to see which one is in conflict. Or perhaps it's a vBulletin setting?

Any thoughts you have on what sort of interaction with mods/settings that could cause this would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Julian

Hi Julian,

ever found a solution for this? Because I'm facing the same problem.

Thanks,
Marc
